Comment: Marks & Spencer: There are usually four black dumpsters just off of Duke Street, belonging to the Marks & Spencer on Grafton Street. They're particularly good for salads, flowers and gack, but there's usually a bit of everything there. The bins are almost always unlocked, but they take them in when they close, which is at 9pm most days, but 7pm on Sundays. They do sometimes use their infamous blue food dye, but very irregularly. It is also useless, as their food is so overpackaged that all it does is stain the packaging. Some of the staff are also incredibly hostile (although others turn a blind eye), and their security guards have chased innocent freegans down Grafton Street a couple of times. You might avoid being seen if you enter and exit through the back entrance of the Hodges Figgis bookstore on Dawson Street, although they close at 6pm and they close their back entrance at around 5pm, as far as it is known.
